Largest salmon to be caught so far this summer in Iceland

Arnór Maximilian and a 108 cm long salmon which he caught fly-fishing.

Arnór Maximilian Luckas was fishing with his father, Karl Udo in the Laxa salmon river in Aðaldalur last night when he caught a salmon measuring 101 cm and weighing 22 pounds and another measuring 108 cm and 28 pounds.

When asked by mbl.is about the experience of landding a 108 cm long salmon he says, "It was incredible. My father and I just sat there on the river bank and didn't really understand what had just happened."

His first salmon was caught using a Metallica fly and the second using a fly called Kolskeggs túpa. "I was in shock. When we were fighting the fish we barely said a word, we just whispered as if it could hear us. But when we had released it back into the river we laughed. It was incredible."
